ok, so i decide to engine swap my '89 honda accord lxi, and i'm told the B16a or B20a are the best engines to do it with, so the question is: which one should i do? what are all hte differences between the 2? price, horse power, torque, compression ratio, displacement, i want to know it all. also, what additional parts do i need to buy? what total cost am i looking at here? thanx for any help you can give me you guys.

yeah, swap in a b20 w/a b16vtec head.

b20 hybrid are very cool, and I have never seen a 3rd gen with one.

I don't think either engine will be a direct swap... Doesn't the LX-i use the A20 motor? The mounts will be different, you will need some kind of fabricated motor mounts. Don't get the B16, there's just not enough torque to keep you happy. I think that the late 80's/early 90's Prelude Si's came with some sort of B20, that might be a more feasible swap. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
